Well if you gots the poison I've gots the remedy

Dear Blogspot,

Today I was totally productive.

Even more so than usual.

As I’m a big girl now, that apparently comes with responsibilities. Some of these have not yet been announced or I would be freaking out about them on here…although if you saw who I was shadowing and meeting with today then you probably already know. And it’s not like big big stuff. Okay, well some of it is. But it’ll be enough to keep me busy and freaked out for the next few years. Might take a while to adjust, but maybe it’s about time for a changeup.

Even though I’m still in changeup mode, switching from 20 to 40. Well, 35 to 40. With 38 at the work library and only 2 at the home library. I’m hoping the 2 hours there will continue on, but now that they have their new staff who knows what will happen.

Okay, aside from meetings and shadowing and then meeting with supervisors to talk about other stuff I also signed up for a parking spot, woohoo!

Then came home, made supper, did a bunch of computer stuff and watched some more Leverage. Still waiting on season two so I’m stalling until it gets there. Starting season three without watching it is feasible, but I’d rather watch it in order.

And that was today.

Tomorrow should be fun.

Staff meeting in the morning where hopefully all the changes will be announced and explained.

With the stuff that’s being handed out I’m shocked the supervisors weren’t losing their minds with all that they had to handle. Granted they got paid the big…well, bigger bucks, to do it. But still, that’s a lot of stuff.

Then I get yet another meeting with supervisors from different branches about a thing that I’m being put in charge of.

Again, I’ll explain more tomorrow. And prepare to get nervous and freaked out ramblings, I excel at those.

Okay, what else? Oh yeah.

Squirt now has a blog. And it’s gonna smash both mine and her mother’s down like the hand of god. She’s funny stuff. You should check out her “The End of Barbie and Ken” story, it’s highly amusing.

Alright, there were a lot of R-Recs to go through, so after a thorough weeding process (aka which ones don’t suck and which ones haven’t I posted within the last few months) I’ve come up with these ones.

Enjoy.


Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology – Jack Johnson

The title made me laugh so I bought it. It’s actually pretty good, but most of his music is. I post a lot of it, probably one of my most posted artists, although Michelle Branch is climbing that ladder pretty quickly.

Remedy (I Won’t Worry) - Jason Mraz

him live makes me laugh.
It’s one of those songs that you know but you forgot you knew it. You know? I found a few of those when I put mine on shuffle. More Michelle Branch stuff included. I’ll find more of those after this whole alphabet thing is over. Plus the 12 Days of Xmas. There’s so many freakin’ Christmas Songs out there, I’ll have to post at least 12 of those. I’m just stoked for Day 12.

Or is it Day 1? Do you count down or up?

Rockafeller Skank – Fatboy Slim

This one is an excellent dance song. It’s actually on Dance Dance Revolution, the 3rd one I think. I don’t remember, I own a lot of them. I’ll have to remember to take them to the farm for the 1st. P Squared and me usually rally and do some of those, along with some SSX Tricky and lots of sparkling cider.

And apparently it’s well known as well. I posted a lyric from it as a blog title and it got more hits than most of my others.

Run Joey Run - David Geddes

cheesefest.
I hated when Glee covered this song. No idea why. I mean, they did a great rendition, I think it was just the video that went along with it. Rachel and her dramatics. But it was cool to have all three guys picking up on different verses.
Alright, that’s all for tonight. Big day tomorrow.


PS - Check out Priscilla Ahn’s CD “A Good Day” it’s delightful, a lot of upbeat music, not as many fillers as I’d thought there would be.

And Adele’s “21” I’m loving “I’ll Be Waiting”. Excellent jam out session.

and yes I'm going to post it. I'm allowed to, it's my blog.

"I'll Be Waiting" Adele

she's fantastic, live and radio.
words cannot express how awesome this song is.


Run Joey Run Joey Run Joey Run Joey Run Joey Run Joey Run!!!

Attitude: Amused

Yesterday was work then dinner at sister's and watching Dinner with Schmucks. Not my favorite but it did have a few good lines. "Get them out of a my head!!!" I'd give it a 4/10 on my Scale of Awesome.

Today coworker was gone so I covered and stayed 'til six. I got to work with my boss which was fun. We talked a lot about food and tv. Gotta love Criminal Minds. Well, not anymore, not after that whole creative reasons crap with AJ/JJ. I was gone after that. Didn't even start the new season. Although it is enjoyable that the entire cast hopes that the spinoff (so-called "Criminal Minds Suspect Behavior") will fail. That soooo amuses me. Seriously. They're ticked. That's too funny. And I hope it does. And apparently Forest Whittaker is already out as well. I'm wondering how they're gonna pull it off. Anyway, I hope it fails. There would be much rejoicing.
But today was fun, working with my boss is fun because we have fun discussions about tv but I also got to talk to this woman about James Patterson and the Women's Murder Club series and it was awesome. I can talk about that for hours so bringing it up totally made my day. Until dinner tonight...

Me and my sisters + their husbands went to the Parthenon. It was fantastic. I had goat and all I could hear in my mind was Gibbs saying "Good goat!" (NCIS:Untouchable, Season 3) Aside from the fabulous food we had some interesting conversations. Well, interesting to them, they enjoy torturing me. I just sat there fixing my scarf and drinking heavily. Scarred for life. But the food was good. And I had some sort of cheesecake for desert, it was huge had to bring half of it home with me!

After that it was playing Just Dance on the Wii with my sister and niece and nephew. It was hilarious, the kids were commentating on what we were supposed to do and I was cracking up, I couldn't even dance. "Point! Point! Point! Point! Shovel! Shovel! Shovel! Shovel! M like McDonalds! Now Shimmy! Shimmy!! Shimmy! You're not shimmying!" And my sister yells "Shimmy, damnit, shimmy!" I died on the spot. Hilarious. And she may have beat me at everything else I totally took her down at Rockafeller Skank which is the one she bragged about to me for the past two days. I totally took her down.

Aaannnd a night with family means more fun catch phrases such as these:
- "Lean back your sleeves" Sarah, meaning pull back
- "Lincoln can only afford an old cheney, not a new one." Cindy about street names
- "Does this sunroof open?" Joe about drowning us in snow - It was like blizzarding at this point.
- "I'm not afraid to throw things!" Cindy from the backseat at her husband driving not as carefully as she would have liked.
- "I want to be the cowboy!" I showed Mandy and Joe the Indian 12 Days of Christmas, which is in the Dec 25th post on here if you're interested.
- "I don't know about you, but I heard booga, booga, booga." That was me at Joey.
- "Bend and snap!" "There's no bending! Just snapping!" Mandy commentating Just Dance and my reply. Cause yeah, there was no bending. Just snapping. Legally Blonde reference.
And my personal favorite was from Cindy. She's the oldest so I guess she can be the funniest. I offered everyone a piece of gum at the restaurant (yes I had to google that word again to make sure I didn't look like an idiot) and she didn't take one. Sarah, in the car, said "wow, this gum is enjoyable." and Cindy pipes up and says, "Give me a piece of that gum, you didn't tell me it was gonna be enjoyable!"

Tomorrow is Joey's basketball game then going to a movie with some work friends. Should be fun.
